HTC Corp., the second-largest maker of devices using Google Inc.'s Android software, lost a ruling in a patent case against Apple Inc. that sought to block U.S. imports of the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

The Apple devices don't violate HTC's rights to four patents, U.S. International Trade Commission Judge Charles Bullock said in a notice yesterday. The full six-member commission in Washington may choose to review the findings, with the investigation scheduled to be completed by Feb. 17.

Apple, with competition emerging for its top-selling iPhone and iPad, has accused Android-device makers HTC, Samsung Electronics Co. and Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. of copying its technology and has won court rulings in Australia and Europe to limit sales of some Samsung products. The loss yesterday for HTC is the first ruling in at least six ITC cases that rivals had filed in retaliation against Apple.
